Sound and the Human Ear

Once in a while, someone makes a great video explaining very clearly how something works. This video goes into great depth on the subject of the human ear and its seemingly impossible ability to not only perceive sound, but also filter it into meaningful signals that our brains can use. It's a little fast paced, but very information dense, so you may end up watching it more than once to get the gist. In any event, it's a fun look at our sense of hearing. I found the video helped to give me a better understanding of what we hear without even realizing it. Hope you enjoy...
